Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

"The bell is tolling for her, the heavy coffin is being lifted..." The clear lyrics of the nursery rhyme echoed in the dead air. Mingyue looked at the line of English written in blood on the mirror on the sink and tilted her head slightly.

Standing beside Mingyue, Lei frowned slightly, watching the dark red blood flowing down the smooth mirror, and whispered softly, "Who is the robin?"

"Whoever did this might have just done it on impulse. After all, I've heard this line so many times that my ears are almost callused." Mingyue crossed her arms. "Or maybe it was a prank. They did it while we were voting in Room 4, so no one would notice."

Lei did not respond, but just lowered his eyes in thought.

The new lyrics reached their ears: "Tears wet the bright red collar, sighs are buried in the earth..."

"Nursery rhymes kill people?" Lei tried to connect the nursery rhymes with these bloody words.

"If that were the case, we would have found a body with an arrowhead stuck in its chest, not a pile of viscera and lines of blood." Mingyue paused for a few seconds as if something occurred to her, then continued, "Also, the lyrics don't match reality. If the killing was based on a nursery rhyme, there should at least be some similarities."

"In the last round of voting, three people didn't return to Room 4." Lei said calmly. He looked around and saw that the bathroom was empty.

"Owls, baboons, and cattle..." Mingyue raised a hand to stroke her chin and glanced at Lei thoughtfully. "You don't think I know where they are, do you?"

Lei noticed Mingyue's gaze and turned to look at her. "What are your plans?"

Mingyue rolled her eyes and replied with a smile, "Of course I'm trying to get more chips. Do you have a good idea? Or are you ready to be eliminated?"

Lei didn't say anything, but listened quietly to the newly emerged lyrics: "The drifting truth and the fallen thoughts are crushed in time..."

"Maybe there really is a body, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes. Maybe it's still on this cruise ship, or maybe it's drifting away with the waves." Mingyue restrained the smile on her face.

"It's more likely to sink into the sea." Lei turned his head to look at the porthole. Outside the window was the boundless sea, and above the sea were rolling clouds, and the layers of clouds blocked the sunlight.

"Why put the internal organs next to the broken chair?" Lei had a cold face. He seemed to be asking himself and Mingyue.

"I guess they want to put the blame on the brown bear, but I think everyone can see through their trick." Mingyue shrugged. "Let's go somewhere else. There's nothing to see here."

As Rye was about to leave, he glanced at the bloody words on the mirror again: Who killed Cock Robin?

The piano music on the radio was still playing, and a child's clear and melodious voice echoed in the empty bathroom: "When the night sky is empty and only the stars remain, a loud voice sings a hymn..."

Mingyue softly repeated the newly appeared lyrics. Suddenly, the corners of her lips curled up. She looked at Lei and pointed at the mask on her face and asked, "The lyrics are all about animals. Is there any connection with the masks we wear?"

Lei was slightly stunned. Animal masks flashed through his mind rapidly, and the child's voice in his ears became unclear again.

It seems the new lyrics have finished playing. Lei Yi thought so in his heart and followed Mingyue out of the bathroom. He looked around and happened to see a few gamblers walking past him in panic.

One of the gamblers' eyes were filled with fear. He whispered to his companion, "Are you sure you saw human bones?"

Then another gambler asked eagerly: "Could it be some animal?"

"I'm not sure, so I asked you to come with me to take a look." The gambler glanced at the tall black wolf. He seemed to be frightened by the dark green wolf eyes. He quickly lowered his head and quickened his pace. "Let's go quickly."

Mingyue looked up and exchanged glances with Lei, saying nothing. She just followed the gamblers silently.
